REPORT OF NEW JERSEY STATE MUSEUM. 
for the Deaf, the State School for Boys, and the Newark Tech¬ 
nical School. 
The Columbian Educational Exhibit consisted of every grade 
of school work. It. was shown in sixty-five New Jersey wing 
cabinets, in fifteen show-cases, on six exhibit tables, on the walls, 
in frames and on cards. In addition to the preceding there 
were 1,000 hound volumes of school work. 
The Pan-American Exhibit, was prepared by the schools of the 
State, and represents all grades of work. It is displayed as at 
Buffalo and at Charleston, in wing cabinets, in show-cases, on 
the walls and in bound volumes. These are the exhibits that 
received the highest awards at the two Expositions above 
named. They are proving of great educational value to the 
State, as hardly a day passes that they are not carefully inspected 
by pupils, teachers and other visitors. They show what New 
Jersey is doing, and are a source of pride to all who fully ap¬ 
preciate our public schools. The Pan-American Educational 
Exhibit is now shown in the corridor of the third story of the 
State House, Trenton. This exhibit was prepared in ten days, 
thus illustrating the actual work of o-ur schools and also showing 
what, they are capable of doing in an emergency. 
For want of room, the Educational Exhibits from the Cen¬ 
tennial Exposition, at Philadelphia, 1876, and the New 7 Orleans 
Exposition have not been displayed, but are stored in the State 
Arsenal.
